Wyatt: Ah, no, no, no.
No, you did that very much on
your own.
You threatened my wife.

Quinn: I did no such thing.

Wyatt: Oh, please!
I'm not that little boy that you
lied to about Dad.
That doesn't fly with me
anymore.

Quinn: [Sighs]
I think this just got a little
bit out of hand.

Wyatt: [Laughs]

Quinn: How did you expect me
to react when she told me to get
out the minute I walked in the
door?
Wyatt, you have to talk to your
wife.
You have to get through to her.
I will not be an exiled
grandmother.

Hope: How did it get this
way?
Oh, that's a stupid question.

Liam: How are you feeling,
by the way?

Hope: I feel terrible.

Liam: No. [Chuckles]
I mean -- I mean, in general,
the baby.

Hope: Oh. Um...
fine.
You know, how I'm supposed to be
feeling, I guess.

Liam: I mean, what about...
like nausea and morning sickness
and cravings and things like
that?
'Cause I was -- I was reading
this study in this medical
journal recently, and it did say
that...
what?
Hope, I'm -- I'm allowed to do
some reading.

Hope: Why?

Aly: Could it really be over
for those two?

Ivy: Well, it never was a
sure thing.

Aly: I know.
But now it opens the door for
you and Liam.

Ivy: Oh, no, I wouldn't
exactly put it like that.

Aly: Now, come on, Ivy.
I've seen the two of you
together.
At the dinner party the other
night, you two spent a lot of
time together.

Ivy: Yeah, until my dad came
along and decided to figure out
if Liam's intentions were pure.

Aly: And how did that go?

Ivy: Well, you know what?
I took your advice, and I went
and listened.

Aly: Oh, really?

Ivy: Yes.

Aly: Mm.

Ivy: And...it was wonderful.
I, um -- I heard Liam telling my
dad that he thought I was
sophisticated.

Aly: Mm. [Giggles]

Ivy: And, um -- and talented
and funny and bright, and he
said that he would have been a
wreck without me and that the
only reason he could only offer
me friendship right now was
because of the whole Hope
situation.

Aly: Anything else?

Ivy: Yes. He said that he
thinks the tides might be
changing for us.

[Both giggle]

Ivy:
I know.
I couldn't really believe it,
either.

Aly: Ivy, I -- I'm so happy
for you.

Ivy: Honestly?
You're good with Liam and me?
If it happens?
Because I know how you feel
about Liam and Hope.

Aly: Look, I just want what's
best for both of them, and you,
too.
If they can't be together, then
I say go for it.

Quinn: Honey, you have to
take a stand.

Wyatt: Do you know how close
I came to losing her because of
you?
Let's see.
There was Paris.
Then you tried to kill my
brother and Ridge and whatever.

Quinn: Come on. I've atoned
for all of that.

Wyatt: Atoned?

Quinn: With heartfelt
apologies and -- and tons of
therapy and promises never,
never, never to do it again.

Wyatt: That's right.
All these apologies and
promises.
And over and over again, you
broke them.

Quinn: [Scoffs]
That was before.
I'm about to be a grandmother
now.

Wyatt: And that is precisely
what scares Hope and me to
death.
Take up crochet, make the baby a
blanket, act like a grandmother,
and maybe -- just maybe --
things will change for you.

Quinn: You're really afraid
of this woman, aren't you.

Wyatt: Afraid?
I love this woman.
And I'm gonna protect her, no
matter what.
And if she finds you threatening
so that you can't be around, so
be it.
God. Don't you see it?
I'm trying to make this work
here, Mom.
I have a family now -- a family!
I never had that.
And you did your best, but I
need more than what you gave me.
I want my son or my daughter to
have a father and a happy home.
That is my priority right now.
And I know I'm your priority,
but you've got to accept that...
you're not mine anymore.

Liam: [Sighs]
But so far so good with the
pregnancy, right?
I mean, have you been to a
doctor?

Hope: Liam, I love you so
much for caring.
But I'm fine.

Liam: What about your new
mother-in-law?

Hope: Um...
Wyatt and I have talked about
her at length, and I've made it
very clear to him that she is
not allowed to be anywhere near
me or the baby.

Liam: You know she's not
gonna accept that.

Hope: I really don't care if
she accepts it or not.
That's what's going to happen.

Liam: And Wyatt's on board
with this?

Hope: Yeah.

Liam: Okay.
Okay.

Hope: Liam, this isn't your
problem.

Liam: I know. But you can't
ask me not to worry.
She's, uh -- she's probably
gonna be circling your house
like a vulture, so you guys
should probably invest in a new
security system.
I mean that.

Hope: Okay. Thanks -- thanks
for the tip.

Liam: Yeah.

Hope: Trust me -- this is my
first child.
I am going to protect it like a
mother lion.

Liam: I know you will.

Hope: Yeah.

Liam: But you shouldn't have
to be dealing with all this
crap.
I mean, Wyatt will love you and protect you, I'm sure. I mean, how could he not?
But... you guys are always gonna be looking over your shoulder. And if you
don't, I will, Hope, because I, more than anyone, know what she's capable of. I
know what she's done to me.

Quinn: I don't expect to be your priority, Wyatt.

Wyatt: Good. Then we're on the same page.

Quinn: I'm surprised you would even question it.

Wyatt: Question it? You live for me. You need something more than that.

Quinn: I need for you to be happy and fulfilled. I am not some controlling bitch
of a parent.

Wyatt: Okay.

Quinn: Wyatt, I am so tired of defending myself. Yes, I have mistakes, and I am
bound to make more before I take my last breath. All I want is to be a part of
my own family. Is that too much for your mother to ask?

Wyatt: No, but this is new to me, and it's new to Hope, all right? We-- we
need to be sensitive to each other's needs.

Quinn: Are you afraid of losing her?

Wyatt: Of course not.

Quinn: Because Liam is no longer a concern. I assure you that.

Wyatt: Liam is not an issue for me any more! You are an issue for me! Hope and I
are having a baby in a few months. Nothing else matters. Whatever Hope wants,
Hope gets. And for now, she doesn't want you a part of her life.

Aly: Liam was so sweet. Saying all that about you to your dad. This is good. So,
what happens next?

Ivy: Well, he invited me over for dinner tonight.

Aly: This is very good. You know, Liam needs someone like you.

Ivy: Yeah, for support. A soft landing. That's what he told me dad, so I can't
really see anything else beyond that.

Aly: You and Liam are gonna be great together.

Ivy: Well, when and if he gets over Hope, I believe you might be right.

Liam: Promise me you'll give me a call if Quinn becomes an issue.

Hope: She won't. I won't let that happen, and neither will Wyatt.

Liam: Just a phone call, Hope. That's all I'm asking.

[Ringtone plays]

Liam: I...have somewhere to be.

Hope: Work?

Liam: No.

Hope: Oh.

[Liam clears throat]

Hope: Oh. Ivy?

Liam: Yeah. Um... She's-- She's comin' over. We're gonna barbecue.

Hope: Cool.

Liam: She's my friend, Hope.

Hope: She'd like to be more. I think you would, too. It's-- It's just...

Hope: You are not invited
back into my home.
You know where I stand on that.

Quinn: Yes, you have made
that abundantly clear.

Hope: Great. Then there's
nothing to discuss.

Quinn: Can you blame me for
not wanting to be purged from
the only family I have in this
world?

Hope: I am not accountable
for that.
You are.

Quinn: Yeah, but I have
apologized for that.

Hope: Your apologies mean
nothing.

Quinn: Okay. Then, um...
then forget about the apologies.
I'm just asking, from the bottom
of your heart, to please
forgive me.

Hope: No.
There is a price to pay for your
behavior, and that price is
expulsion -- from this house,
from my family.
I am not going to put my child's
life at risk, and with you
around, that is a definite
possibility.

Quinn: I am going to be a
grandmother.
So is your mother.
Could you imagine the pain that
she would feel if you were to
tell her that she could never be
a part of your baby's life?
You couldn't live with that, but
you're -- you're asking your
husband to?
Despite my many faults, Wyatt
loves me.
Do you think it's gonna be easy
for him to be the kind of father
that he has always dreamed of
being, knowing that his mother
is in anguish, day after day,
because she can never see his
son or his daughter?
I want to improve.
I'm trying to improve.
But I need help.
I mean, shutting me out isn't
the way to do it.
We're family.
A child is coming.
Babies are supposed to bring
everyone together.
I am -- I'm asking you again --
please, look into your heart and
forgive me.
